Estimate the sum by rounding each number to the nearest hundred.
5276+ 8823+ 2959
To estimate the sum by rounding each number to the nearest hundred, we round each number to the nearest hundred:
5276 rounded to the nearest hundred is 5300.
8823 rounded to the nearest hundred is 8800.
2959 rounded to the nearest hundred is 3000.
Now we add the rounded numbers:
5300 + 8800 + 3000 = 17,100
So, the estimate of the sum is 17,100.
